I have seen requirements that within 6 months you have to get the certification while training for the job. I assume it would be better to get certified first. How would I go about doing that and where would I go? I know you dont live far from me so I may be able to go to the same place that you did.

I have a friend that just got hired in Rockdale County. He simply applied and went through the hiring process quickly with no experience. Only job he has ever had was working at the track like I do and soccer reffing. I have industrial plumbing, corner marshal(racetrack), and customer service/retail experience.
